I usually dont take the time to do a deep review but this time I really feel that I need to share my experience. Ive been running for over 5 years now but started getting serious with my weekly mileage about a year ago (was doing only 16 miles/week and now Im at around 30 miles/week). I live in South Florida and it gets very hot most of the year which makes the long runs very challenging. I spent the last few months training for the Miami Half Marathon and feeling good and ready for the race and on the race day the weather got hot and I was sweating so profusely that didnt realize that my GUs and water were not doing enough to recover my lost sodium and eventually at around mile 10 I had to start taking walking breaks until the point that I start having all the symptoms of hyponatremia (low sodium- confusion, fatigue and headache). I had a goal of finishing the half-marathon under 2 hours and ended up finishing with 2 hours 13 minutes. After this I was super frustrated and started reading more about what happened until I talked to a few pro runners that mentioned salt pills. I came across these pills and decided to sign up for another half marathon last Sunday with my wife ( 305 Half Marathon). I took 2 pills 30 minutes before the race, then 2 pills at mile 4 and then 2 pills every 3 miles. I also took my GUs after mile 4 between the salt pills and felt amazing during the whole race (temp was about the same as the first race). I dont think you can ever attribute your success at any sport event to only one factor but I know that this was a huge contributor to how I felt during my race. I ended up finishing with a time of 1:59:24 and this time I was only aiming at a 2:05 goal. From now on I am using these pills on any run under hot weather over 8 miles which are all my Saturday runs. Please consider that not every person looses sodium at the same rate through perspiration and this will make a difference for people with high perspiration rate as myself. My wife runs with me everyday and at the end of a 10 miles run at over 80F she still almost totally dry, reason why she does not need this pills. Before trying this, I tried GUs, sport drinks, other gels, etc and could not find something that would really help me battle the fatigue on hot days, so this was a thing of trial and error until I found something that works. Hope my story helps other people with similar issues. Happy running!

I take 2-3 of these while I am on my long runs. I can say not only do they taste good but they make me feel less dizzy and keeps my energy up.

I really like this product. The taste is really tasty and doesn’t taste too salty. I usually only have to chew on two tablets and my cramps go away and stay away. This product is great for races and exercising.

Continue to use hoping for the benefit promised.

I first found out about SaltStick fast chews on Instagram, they sounded interesting…but it wasn’t until I had a super bad long run, I didn’t plan my hydration and when I hit mile 13 I started cramping so hard. It was an awful last 2 miles left to my car. I got home and immediately bought these. I have used them religiously since and never had the cramping again! It helps they also taste delicious! Can’t wait to try so many more of their products!

I’ve been using SaltStick for years now and it has drastically improved my performance on long days or hard workouts! I use them every day whether I’m working out or just have a busy day at work to help keep me hydrated and my sodium levels at a good level!

I have restless legs and cramps almost every night. Ugh! I recently bought a bottle and would take just one and got instant relief. I gave some to an elderly friend who was experiencing the same problem and he said he took one of them at bedtime and didnt have any cramps until 5:00 a.m. the next morning. He was grateful to get through almost the whole night. I ordered a bottle for him!

I got dehydrated once on the trail and wasn’t right for 3 days. I started using these while out backpacking and they are a game changer. I never want to dehydrate again and these will be a big part of keeping me going while hiking.
